Carbon fibre bows possess a distinct advantage over wooden bows due to the material's resistance to changes in temperature and humidity.  Whereas wooden bows are prone to snap or warp due to fluctuations in temperature and humidity, carbon fibre is a remarkably durable material, making a carbon fibre bow a worthwhile investment for travelling musicians.

Maestro Archetier's carbon fibre range of bows is significantly higher in quality than many others at this price range, with a camber specially designed by the school's master bow makers.  The bows are graded to meet the needs of players at different levels.

The Standard model is a very responsive bow that will enable advancing students to perform more advanced technique such as staccato and martele with dexterity and ease.
